Plan D

How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes (Even If You Don't Have It)

About the Book

In Plan D, Sherri Shepherd, Emmy Award winner and cohost of The View, presents her easy-to-follow program for losing weight, managing sugar sensitivity, and getting moving—all to help you feel and look your best.

For years, Sherri Shepherd was told that she was pre-diabetic. And for years, she ignored her doctor’s advice to lose weight and get healthy before she developed full blown diabetes. When she finally got the big-D diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, the same disease that took her mother’s life, Sherri vowed that she’d change her ways so that her son wouldn’t be left alone, without a mother, as she had been.

With the help of her doctor, she created this program, lost more than 40 pounds, and she looks great and has more energy than she did in her twenties. Sherri’s diabetes is under control, and she was happy to show her stuff, wowing the world on Dancing with the Stars.

With tools to help you live a long and healthy life, Plan D is a smart and supportive plan designed to help you lose weight safely, make exercise a real, and fun, part of your life, and control your sugar sensitivity. And through it all, Sherri Shepherd is there, like a trusted friend, offering advice, encouragement, and of course a healthy dose of humor.

Book Description

A realistic plan to combat diabetes, our greatest health crisis

For the millions of people living with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, or who are overweight and at risk but don’t know where to start, Plan D can provide life-changing results. Plan D breaks down the basics of the science of diabetes, explains how reversing your insulin resistance (the root cause of type 2 diabetes) is the key, and offers support, humor, and the action plan you need to get results. With this medically supported plan, Sherri was able to lose forty pounds and keep it off through three key simple but effective strategies that helped her fight the big D.

They are:

Change the way you eat in simple ways, eating a low-glycemic diet . . . but with a few indulgences along the way

Embrace exercise as part of your life, every day, and how to keep staying fit fun

Rethink your emotional connection to food

Sherri offers a way to lose weight and control diabetes without feeling deprived or chained to a strict, lifeless regimen. Plan D is flexible, sensible, and straightforward, and it works. If you’re ready to make a commitment to change, perhaps after years of battling excess weight and ignoring the warning signs, Sherri can show you how, with Plan D.
